UK claims supported - The international chemical weapons watchdog supported the UK’s findings about the identity of the chemical used to poison former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in Salisbury. The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons’ conclusions will be a relief for the UK, which has said novichok, a military-grade nerve agent developed by Russia, was used in the attack.

Spacey accusations - Los Angeles prosecutors are reviewing a historical sexual assault accusation made against actor Kevin Spacey, officials have confirmed. Police have filed evidence about an allegation involving an incident with a man in West Hollywood in 1992. More than 30 men have come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against the Oscar-winning actor in recent months. It is unclear if California's statute of limitations on prosecuting criminal sexual assault, which is normally 10 years, would apply.
